What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
Notorious: I play mostly small-field tournaments. My plan of attack on this slate is to keep salary and roster spots open for the final game. There are some key injuries in that game that I would like to take advantage of if there are scratches. Domantas Sabonis, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, and Jaxson Hayes are all listed as questionable.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and smaller-field tournaments. I like going overweight on some of the NYK pieces such as Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby. They are all very reasonably priced, and they get so many minutes in their offense regardless of a blowout. I will leave spots open for the games like SAC/LAL, which has several players with questionable tags.
ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments. Another Saturday slate with tons of questionable players. These are always great late-swap slates, so I’ll be sure to be overexposed to later games so I can adjust to late news.
TJ Zwarych: Early in the day, we still have Giannis, AD, Sabonis, Lebron, Embiid, Lillard, Poole, Washington, Draymond, Lively, and Nurkic all still questionable, just to name a FEW of the many players dealing with injuries. I’m playing 150 lineups, and it’ll be incredibly important to pay close attention to the news given the potential for some mega value to open up.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
